    Details
    Keywords: Natural disasters. ; Fire prevention. ; Buildings Protection. ; Environment. ; Forestry. ; Environmental health. ; Ecology . ; Natural Hazards. ; Fire Science, Hazard Control, Building Safety. ; Environmental Sciences. ; Forestry. ; Environmental Health. ; Ecology.
    Description / Table of Contents: Part I: Introduction -- Part II: Combustion and Heat transfer processes -- Chapter 1: Ignition: Chemical Conditions -- Chapter 2: Chemical Processes: From Fuel to Smoke -- Chapter 3: Heat Production.-Chapter 4: Heat for pre-ignition and flames.-Chapter 5: Heat transfer.-Part III: Vegetation fuels, fire behavior and effects.-Chapter 6: Fuels and fire behavior description.-Chapter 7: Fire Propagation.-Chapter 8: Extreme Fire Behavior -- Chapter 9: Fire Effects on Plants, Soils and Animals.-Chapter 10: Fire and people -- Part IV: Managing fuels, fires and landscapes -- Chapter 11: Fuel dynamics and management.-Chapter 12: Fire regimes, landscape dynamics and landscape management.-Chapter 13: Integrated Fire Management -- Chapter 14: Futuring: Trends in Fire Science and Management.
    Abstract: This textbook provides students and academics with a conceptual understanding of fire behavior and fire effects on people and ecosystems to support effective integrated fire management. Through case studies, interactive spreadsheets programmed with equations and graphics, and clear explanations, the book provides undergraduate, graduate, and professional readers with a straightforward learning path. The authors draw from years of experience in successfully teaching fundamental concepts and applications, synthesizing cutting-edge science, and applying lessons learned from fire practitioners. We discuss fire as part of environmental and human health. Our process-based, comprehensive, and quantitative approach encompasses combustion and heat transfer, and fire effects on people, plants, soils, and animals in forest, grassland, and woodland ecosystems from around the Earth. Case studies and examples link fundamental concepts to local, landscape, and global fire implications, including social-ecological systems. Globally, fire science and integrated fire management have made major strides in the last few decades. Society faces numerous fire-related challenges, including the increasing occurrence of large fires that threaten people and property, smoke that poses a health hazard, and lengthening fire seasons worldwide. Fires are useful to suppress fires, conserve wildlife and habitat, enhance livestock grazing, manage fuels, and in ecological restoration. Understanding fire science is critical to forecasting the implication of global change for fires and their effects. Increasing the positive effects of fire (fuels reduction, enhanced habitat for many plants and animals, ecosystem services increased) while reducing the negative impacts of fires (loss of human lives, smoke and carbon emissions that threaten health, etc.) is part of making fires good servants rather than bad masters.

    Himalayan Thick-Skin Basement Deformation of the Ladakh Batholith, Leh-Ladakh Region, NW India (2023)
    Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :
    Details
    Keywords: Geology. ; Geodynamics. ; Geomorphology. ; Physical geography. ; Geology. ; Geodynamics. ; Geomorphology. ; Physical Geography.
    Description / Table of Contents: 1. Geo-tectonic and, topographic, and geographical setting of the Leh-Ladakh region: study scope and methodology -- 2. Overview of the Geology, Structure, and Tectonics of the Ladakh Batholith and Indus Suture Rocks -- 3. Geology and Lithological Variations of the Ladakh Batholith within the Leh-Ladakh Region -- 4. Structural Geology of the High Strain Zone: Ladakh Batholith, Leh Region, NW India -- 5. Structural Geology of the Northern and North-Eastern Zone (N-NE Zone), Leh-Ladakh Region.
    Abstract: This book presents the first report and interpretation of the deformation, structural style, and geo-tectonic evolution of a 600km2 area of the Ladakh batholith, NW India, centred on the city of Leh, Ladakh. The Ladakh (and westerly Kohistan ) batholith comprises a large component of the Jurassic-Oligocene Kohistan-Ladakh Arc-Terrane (KLA), with magmatism spanning island arc, continental margin, and post-Himalayan collision tectonic environments. The KLA is bounded to the north by the Shyok-Northern Suture and to the south by the Indus Suture. The batholith illustrates basement thick-skin tectonic deformation and is divided/partitioned into a series of crustal blocks separated by lateral accommodation structures which allow independent movement in horizontal and vertical space. Thin skinned deformation within the adjacent sedimentary molasse Indus Suture Rocks produced large thrust stacks that predominantly moved towards the N-NE. Whilst deformation within cover sequences influences the basement structures, and helps break up the basement into crustal blocks, there is a clear distinction in deformation between the basement and cover sequences. Basement batholith deformation is more complex and heterogeneous, reflecting the variable transmission of tectonic stress within crystalline crust and the presence of a wide range of precursory inherited weaknesses and anisotropies. Models of time-space deformation are presented using data derived from field and extensive photograph / photo-mosaic image interpretation. The batholith was deformed during at least Palaeocene-Pliocene times at crustal depths that correspond to the ductile-brittle transition zone and shallower.

    Thermodynamic and Thermophysical Properties of Saline Water : Models, Correlations and Data for Desalination and Relevant Applications (2023)
    Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :
    Details
    Keywords: Water. ; Hydrology. ; Freshwater ecology. ; Marine ecology. ; Environmental engineering. ; Biotechnology. ; Bioremediation. ; Pollution. ; Refuse and refuse disposal. ; Water. ; Freshwater and Marine Ecology. ; Environmental Engineering/Biotechnology. ; Pollution. ; Waste Management/Waste Technology.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- Density -- Heat Capacity -- Entropy -- Latent Heat -- Boiling Point Elevation -- Vapor Pressure -- Viscosity -- Thermal Conductivity -- Activity Coefficient -- Osmotic Coefficient -- Surface Tension -- Electrical Conductivity -- Thermal Expansivity -- List of Nomenclature.
    Abstract: This book accommodates the existing correlations, data, and methods for thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of saline water, including multiple components at a wide range of salinity (reaching around 200 g/kg), temperature, and pressure. The correlations of each property are plotted against existing experimental data to judge the comparative accuracy of each within a given specific range of salinity, temperature, and pressure. An assessment to recommend some correlations is also conducted. New correlations for some properties are also proposed. This book helps to provide the saline water properties as needed for engineers, designers, and research for different areas, including desalination and water treatment. All the analytical analysis, thermodynamic analysis, and design models of the desalination technologies depend on saline water properties. As scientists and researchers working on different desalination technologies, the authors found it difficult to find all saline water properties in one source, including multicomponent and binary salty solutions, under different conditions (salinity, temperature, and pressure). Therefore, the authors introduce this book to fill the gap in the open literature. This book compiles the thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of saline water, involving thermodynamic approaches, multicomponent models, and simple correlations and data, comparison between the correlations of properties in figures, recommendation of the most accurate correlations and methods, and the used codes to estimate these correlations and methods. It is expected that this book to be a principal source for all interests in desalination and water treatment subjects.

    Keywords: Geology. ; Geotechnical engineering. ; Mining engineering. ; Geology. ; Geotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences. ; Mining and Exploration.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1: Optimization of The Medium Model in Solving the Inverse Dynamic Problem of Seismics in the HRS-GEO Technology Based on the Spectral Characteristics of Seismic Data -- Chapter 2: Experimental Evaluation of Information Content Regarding the Resolution of the Wave Field and the Choice of Basic Parameters for Solving the Inverse Dynamic Problem of Seismics -- Chapter 3: Features of Integrated Dynamic Interpretation of High Resolution Acoustic Characteristics and Geological Indicators of the Real Environment -- Chapter 4: Wells Data Geophysical Research Interpretation Features -- Chapter 5: Detail Interpretation of High Resolution Seismic Data Timan-Pechora Province.
    Abstract: This book outlines the scientific, methodological and practical foundations for applying High Resolution Seismic HRS-Geo Technology in order to build detailed 2D and 3D seismic acoustic models in the form of acoustic impedances (AI) and reflection coefficients (RC) and the most important geological indicators. The monograph is a continuation of the book by the same authors "Oil and Gas Reservoir Prospecting and Exploration: High-Resolution Seismic HRS techniques and technology". Particular attention is paid to improving the process of searching for AI and RC models using the vector of objective functions, in which various types of residuals between real and model data are iteratively calculated. The well-known criteria for predicting the oil and gas potential of productive deposits from the standpoint of the system analysis principles and the set of geological indicators found from the HRS data are analyzed. The features of solving the main seismogeological problems using HRS-Geo Technology modules are shown, illustrated by numerous examples, and using a special (optimal) processing graph and a set of additional seismic record regularization procedures that provide maximum detail of high-resolution seismic data. The book is meant for scientists and specialists involved in in-depth complex geological interpretation of seismic data in the search and exploration of oil and gas deposits, as well as students of geophysical and geological specialties, graduate students of these specializations and developers.

    Details
    Keywords: Water. ; Hydrology. ; Sustainability. ; Environment. ; Food security. ; Earth sciences. ; Geography. ; Water. ; Sustainability. ; Environmental Sciences. ; Food Security. ; Earth and Environmental Sciences.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1. Introduction to Water Resources of Sub-Saharan Africa -- Chapter 2: Water Challenges in Rural Sub-Saharan Africa -- Chapter 3: Water Challenges in Urban Sub-Saharan Africa -- Chapter 4. Management of Water Challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa -- Chapter 5. Progress towards attaining SDG target on universal access to clean water in Sub-Saharan Africa -- Chapter 6: Recommendations to Improve Management of Water Challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa -- Conclusions.
    Abstract: Sub-Saharan Africa grapples with many public health issues such as food insecurity, increased prevalence of infectious diseases, limited access to clean water supply, poor nutrition and lack of improved health services for its populace (IMF, 2021). Of all these challenges, the inaccessibility of clean water supply for both the rural and urban populace is the most pressing challenge, which has been exacerbated by extensive pollution and climate change crises. The issue of water access and supply affects both rural and urban populations. At rural areas water is accessed in yard taps and in arid regions through water kiosks managed by private owners. Among the urban poor, water access is compromised by poor supply infrastructure especially among informal settlers and risks such as contamination during the supply chain are imminent This book therefore seeks to close this knowledge gap by 1) generating a water resources inventory for Sub-Saharan Africa region, 2) exploring the water crises in both its urban and rural settings, 3) understanding the causatives of the crises and 4) suggesting viable solutions to manage the water challenges using named case studies. The aim is to improve understanding on the region’s water problems and advise scholars and policymakers on priority research areas and action plans to better water management for sustainable development. .

    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- Part-I: Remediation and management strategies -- Chapter 1: Fluoride contamination in water and its management -- Chapter 2: Fluoride pollution control techniques and principles -- Chapter 3: Hybrid phytoremediation of fluoride and its remediation strategies -- Part-II: Fluoride removal treatments -- Chapter 4: Physicochemical and biological methods for the removal of fluoride -- Chapter 5: Removal of fluoride from water through iron-based adsorbents -- Chapter 6: Removal of fluoride from water through fly-ash beds -- Chapter 7: Fluoride removal from industrial wastewater using filtration and chemical precipitation -- Part-III: Fluoride effect on human health -- Chapter 8: Fluoride contamination, health problems and remediation, methods in water: A comprehensive review -- Chapter 9: Effect of fluoride pollution on the living beings with an emphasis on human health hazard -- Chapter 10: Nutritional status and dental fluorosis among humans in communities with different water source fluoride concentrations -- Part-IV: Status, government policy, and environmental regulating bodies -- Chapter 11: Global perspective scenario: fluoride contamination in water -- Chapter 12: Government rules and public involvement of wastewater discharge containing fluoride -- Chapter 13: Future frameworks for fluoride and algorithms for environmental systems -- Part-V: Concluding remarks along with recommendation.
    Abstract: This book presents an overview of the techniques available today for the removal of fluoride contamination/pollutants/species from water. Also covered are traditionally applied techniques for the removal of fluoride pollutants/species, including oxidation, coagulation-flocculation, and membrane techniques. Recently, progress has been made on the utility of various nanoparticles for the extraction of contaminants from water. Fluoride contamination is affecting water resources quality worldwide as a result of human activities, such as mining and pesticide use. Due to the high risk of fluoride exposure, specific water treatment processes are required to meet more severe water quality standards. A better understanding of currently available processes is necessary to develop economical, efficient, and effective methods for fluoride removal. Fluoride can either be coated, adsorbed using a wide range of both mineral and organic constituents or can be directly rejected by membrane processes, such as reverse osmosis and nanofiltration. Recent developments of submerged hybrid membrane systems, such as membrane bioreactors in wastewater treatment, provide alternative technologies for fluoride treatment. .

    Ecological Quality Status of Marine Environment : Metal- Sulfide Models; Significance, Mobility, Mechanisms and Impacts (2023)
    Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :
    Details
    Keywords: Water. ; Hydrology. ; Pollution. ; Environmental chemistry. ; Refuse and refuse disposal. ; Water. ; Pollution. ; Environmental Chemistry. ; Waste Management/Waste Technology.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter I; Introduction to the Significant Impact of AVS on Controlling the Metal Toxicity Regarding Sulfur Cycle -- Chapter II; Chemistry of Sulfur Components and Factors Controlling AVS Concentrations in Marine Environment -- Chapter III; Experimental Approach to Sampling, Storage, Extraction, Determination of AVS-SEM -- Chapter IV; AVS-SEM MODELS -- Chapter V; A Review and an Outlook "AVS- SEM" Studies in Egypt Compared to Aquatic Environment around the World -- Chapter VI; Update, Conclusions, Recommendations, Future Perspective and Challenges.
    Abstract: The goal of this one-of-a-kind book was to provide a critical and in-depth understanding of various AVS-SEM models as predictors for assessing the ecological impact of heavy metals (particularly dibasic cations; Zn, Cd, Ni, Cu, and Pb) on aquatic environments, including the theories underlying these models, descriptive equations, modes of action, methodology, efficiency, applicability, and statistical approaches, as well as comparison with other pollution assessment techniques in the aquatic environments. Metals in interstitial water can be reduced in sediments that co-precipitate with iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) in FeS or MnS minerals, as well as replace them. This book outlines a system that can be used to track heavy metal contamination in countries with coastal regions that extend over water bodies that are subjected to pollution sources, such as the Mediterranean Basin countries. Moreover, this book will be of great interest to academics, professionals, practitioners, post-graduate students (M.Sc. and Ph.D.), and undergraduates because it gives a clear overview of heavy metal assessment for people interested in environmental studies focusing on the marine environment. It also provides decision-makers with a realistic perspective of the environmental file, allowing them to address environmental issues and directing stockholders to safer locations for environmental activity. From a future perspective, management is advised to overcome the difficulties within that technique, such as accurate handling procedures and different approaches to sampling onshore and offshore.

    Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :
    Details
    Keywords: Geology. ; Geomorphology. ; Cultural property. ; Archaeology. ; Geology. ; Geomorphology. ; Heritage Management.
    Description / Table of Contents: 1. Introduction -- 2. Volcanology -- 3. Geomorphology -- 4. Hierro geopark -- 5. Landscapes -- 6. Cultural -- Rural.
    Abstract: This open access book explores El Hierro Island, which is geologically the youngest of the Canary Islands (Spain). Having registered its latest volcanic eruption in 2011-2012, it is an oceanic subtropical island with low population pressure and a largely unchanged natural landscape. Accordingly, a great geodiversity of volcanic morphologies and erosion processes has been preserved. In addition, half of the land is protected as a Biosphere Reserve and as a UNESCO Global Geopark, and the island is pursuing energy self-sufficiency. Local tourism is a sustainable activity, as the main attractions are either diving or hiking through the island’s various volcanic landscapes. Covering these and other aspects, and using accessible language, the book will appeal to scientists specialized in geotourism, active leisure entrepreneurs, and members of the general public interested in volcanic geoheritage and geotourism.

    Traditional Rainwater Harvesting Structures (2023)

    Details
    Keywords: Water. ; Hydrology. ; Environmental management. ; Earth sciences. ; Geography. ; Sustainability. ; Environmental sciences Social aspects. ; Water. ; Environmental Management. ; Earth and Environmental Sciences. ; Sustainability. ; Environmental Social Sciences.
    Description / Table of Contents: Introduction -- Traditional Rainwater Harvesting -- Traditional Rainwater Harvesting in India -- Management of Rainwater Structures -- Conclusions -- References.
    Abstract: This book contains detailed information about the traditional rainwater structures. Harvesting rainwater is becoming as a practical adaptation strategy for urban areas that are vulnerable to climate alteration. In the past, rainwater harvesting was more significant than it is today. Studies show that a variety of traditional and age-old rainwater gathering techniques were created or put into use in reaction to earlier climate change incidents. According to history, both floods and droughts were frequent occurrences in ancient India. Perhaps this explains why each region of the nation has its own traditional water gathering practices that are representative of the local physical and cultural diversity. All of these methods can be seen as a concept of harvesting rain whenever and wherever it falls. Water makes up 70.9 % of the Earth's surface, mainly in the form of oceans and seas. Water is found in modest proportions as 1.7 % groundwater, 1.7 % glaciers and ice caps in Antarctica and Greenland, vapour, clouds (ice and liquid water suspended in air), and 0.001% precipitation in the air. Evaporation, transpiration, evapo-transpiration, condensation, precipitation, root absorption, percolation, infiltration, base flow and runoff are processes that water goes through on its way to the sea.

    Abstract: This book comprehensively discusses the methods and practices for evaluating geochemical processes in aquifer groundwater. Possible occurrence and mechanisms of rock-water interaction, trace metal mobilization, thermodynamic explanation, actions of aquifer CO2, pollution sources, geogenic influencing factors, and isotope dilution methods are the primary areas of focus. These water quality variables are analyzed using a variety of logical/theoretical explanations, statistical techniques, and experimental procedures to determine the suitability of groundwater for drinking, irrigation, and other industrial purposes. The work is an important addition to hydrogeochemical literature since many existing indexing methods for the assessment of water quality are very old and have some degree of limitation. The book will be a useful resource for students, lecturers, and researchers working in the fields of hydrogeochemistry, hydrology, water pollution, and groundwater quality. .
